Probably the greatest one ever made was the 1990, but the 2003 Pignan Chateauneuf du Pape is strikingly good. There are about 7,000 bottles of it, and I would probably go as far as to say that it is the best Pignan from this estate since the 1990. Dense ruby to the rim with a glorious nose of framboise, black raspberries, sweet cherries, and kirsch, the wine is full-bodied, broad, high in alcohol, but rich, chewy, and totally captivating and seductive. Drink it over the next 12-14 years. Importer: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400
